A Visual Look Inside SXSW 2012…and a bit about our panel

Matt Biddulph has created a visualization of the more than 3,000 prospective 2012 SXSW panels that is certainly worth a look.   Matt’s efforts offer a good look at what people want to talk about.  Social Media is still an overwhelming category, but it is good to see many have moved into what’s next.

Emerging technology and mobile are gaining ground, and more important topics are getting attention. Health and The Future of Medicine is a compelling topic.  The tags include health footprint, healthcare innovation and healthcare within social media.   Healthcare within social media is particularly interesting to me.  We introduce the idea of collaborative healthcare within Collaboration and Co-Creation, and talk about it in our recent trend report. The ideal outcome supports physicians enabling people to connect with others, sharing advice with those challenged by the same life-long ailments.  These creative learning agendas are a powerful tool for  physicians, but more importantly people have a role in their personal healthcare with the added benefit of helping others.

Collaborative healthcare enables people to play a  formidable role in their personal care.  Connecting with others and sharing experiences supports understanding with remarkable advantages and keeps everyone informed!

So, where does our SXSW panel fall?  Within emerging technology, but that feels a little restrictive.  We wanted to challenge the idea of social media as simply a marketing tool, focusing attention on a brand’s new role; Service, Enabler and Resource Provider.  Each enable natural connections, stimulating authentic dialogues,  a reciprocal process , intense levels of context, value and trust.

Embrace Disruption…disruption is a natural part of everything.
